Examples of product innovation

Examples of product innovation are: functional combination, single extreme, cross-border transplantation, mobile portability, module integration and so on.

1, function combination

Functional combination innovation is to combine a variety of mature technologies or existing products to form new innovative products, realize the diversification of product functions and meet more application scenarios for users.

For example, Swiss Army Knife is a typical innovative product with functional combination, which combines tools with different functions to help users cope with complex environment.

2, a single extreme

The ultimate innovation of single function emphasizes the minimalism of product functions, subtracts, removes all unnecessary functions, highlights the core functions of products to the greatest extent, and exerts this single function to the extreme to create a good user experience.

For example, this egg cutter is specially designed for cutting cooked eggs, which can cut cooked eggs into various sizes and shapes, giving full play to a single function.

3. Cross-border transplantation

Cross-border innovation of product functions creates a brand-new product and brings a brand-new user experience by grafting and transferring technologies in other industries or application scenarios and the functions and values delivered by technologies to a new industry or application scenario.

For example, radar uses microwaves to detect and locate targets, and microwave ovens use microwaves to heat food. The same microwave technology spans different application scenarios and plays different functions.

4. Mobility and portability

In the mobile era, no matter production, life or office, it will switch quickly in different time and space. The innovative way to increase product mobility and portability is to endow a product with the function of moving when it is still under normal circumstances, which will open up infinitely new application scenarios and business opportunities.

For example, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is to put wings on the camera to make it move and fly, so that the functions of traditional cameras can be brought into play to a greater extent, opening up a brand-new and huge new market.

5. Module integration

Modular innovation is an innovative method, which decomposes a complex system into many independent and manageable components and then reassembles them. Modular innovation makes product manufacturing change from large-scale standardized manufacturing to large-scale personalized customization, which meets the diversified needs of consumers and adapts to fierce market competition.

For example, Motorola Project Ara concept mobile phone creatively realizes the modularization of core functional components, and users can choose appropriate modules to assemble the mobile phone according to their own interests, thus realizing more functional choices and personalized experience fun.
